The ZL1 wheels are cool, but i'd have to agree, if i had a ZL1 i'd put the SS 1LE wheels on it.

I did my first transmission oil, filter change and custom pan swap today. I just drilled a hole in the original pan for for a spill free no hassle drain, going to install drain plug bung in it as well. After draining for a day into the catch pan I measured what came out and pumped new oil back in. I will say this oil stinks worse than the diff oil!

Finally received my mats for the ZL1. I had these in my previous ZL1 and my Redeye.

Just need to finish the interior detail so I can put them in.

Great fitting mats and well priced, also one of the 1st thing I ordered when I got the car.

Yep, they were ordered before the paperwork even went through on my ZL1

I've had them now in a total of 4 cars, and I would recommend them over and over and over again. The last 2 have had the trunk mat as well. I didn't have the trunk mat in the first ZL1 and I regretted it.

3D Maxpiders are the best all weather mats. I have them in several vehicles.

I’m impressed. You made a pain in the ass job look easy, while improving the process when doing it.

Installed genuine sheepskin driver seat cover. I put these on all my vehicles at least on the driver's side. Greatly improves seat comfort and they are cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Also protects the seat from abrasion wear. It does impede the effectiveness of the seat warmer and fan in that it takes longer to feel the effects of the seat warmer and it's hard to tell when the cooling fan is working at all, but you really don't need either with this installed.

I installed a set of lift pads. This tool made quick work of the job with no jacking required to install them. I wish I had thought of using this with the set I installed on my last car instead of fumbling around with a regular allen wrench.

LOL! I wish I had seen this before installing my lift pads this past weekend.

I’ve had this thing for well over 30 years. Didn’t know they still made them. You can get these from other brands a lot cheaper. Just need a 1/8 allen bit for it.

Here's an even better, slightly more modern alternative (made in Japan): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002655H5U. I've had it for a year, it's sturdy and reliable.

The angled grip helps tremendously in tight spaces, say, in wheel wells when messing with liner screws or installing splash guards, and you don't want to pop the wheel off for just one or two itsy-bitsy torx screws.
